It was another time, when men and women weren’t as bellicose as we are now, when thinking and awe were more important that might and right. Three wistful men were engaged in a debate: “How do you know when the night ends, and the morning begins?”
One said: “When I can no longer see the stars in the sky.”
The second opined: “When I can tell the difference between a purple thread and a blue thread.”
The third thought for a moment: “The night ends, and the morning begins when I can see the face of my brother.”
A note: Readers’ comments are welcome. The great privilege of America is civil dialogue. Therefore, thoughtful comments will be retained on the site. Threats, racism, personal attacks, and just plain vitriol will be deleted. The first writer to be deleted by me under these ground rules was me personally. I wrote a bone-headed and insensitive piece recently, withdrew it, and published an apology. The standards applied here for interested commentators will be only as high as those applied to myself.
